A procedure for classifying textural facies in gravel‐bed rivers

An iterative procedure of visual identification and quantitative grain‐size measurement is used. A field test of our classification indicates that it affords reasonable statistical discrimination of median grain size and variance of bed‐surface textures. We also explore the compromise between classification simplicity and accuracy.
